@ernierogersquamus123 I had the same issue. I don’t like milk and never have. I don’t like the taste of ensure or boost. I ended up trying the strawberry high calorie (530 calories in 8oz) mixed with about 6 ounces of vitD milk. I usually don’t sip it but drink it down almost one or two chugs. The milk thins it out enough for me to actually swallow the majority down. I then rinse the cup with warm water and swish it around in my mouth and spit it out then warm water gargle and spit then warm water swallow to help clear it. It might sound ridiculous but I do this at the kitchen sink then wash out the sink. I get the calories and end up with a better feeling mouth/throat and a clean skin lol. It’s more than annoying I know but.. I am happy to be on this side of the grass and grateful. Good luck and don’t give up
